fear and greed drive the market. you may withhold the object because it may be 'worth' more later, and then hold it past the desired point.

even if you were to sell it right now on ebay for $200 you're up $199....

I've been reading
Amazon.com: Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions: Dan Ariely: Books Amazon.com: Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces That Shape Our Decisions: Dan Ariely: Books
and the blog and his podcast Arming the Donkeys. It's been very eye opening.
